Issue With Network Timezone - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

I'm currently running the B20 build. I've noticed a new problem. My phone has started using the wrong timezone when I am at home (thus connected to a Verizon tower near my house). This started with the shift away from DST. In the phone, it shows that I'm using AST instead of EST. When I leave my home area, the timezone is fixed (EST). I can't seem to find anyone else having the issue.
I'm primarily trying to determine if this is a phone or network issue. Obviously this is frustrating because I keep getting woken up an hour early. Any help appreciated.

Hi self. I found a workaround for this issue. If you go into airplane mode, you can then go into the date settings and inspect automatically setting timezone. The change the timezone to EST. Next, close that screen and DO NOT REVISIT IT. Turn off airplane mode and the problem is temporarily resolved. If you go back into the Date screen, it realizes that the timezone is off and fixes it to the wrong zone again.
No fix though.

HD2 Leo TMOUS Time Issue

So has anyone had an issue with their HD2 Leo giving the wrong time? I was visiting family back in Richmond TX for the week and everytime I went to Richmond TX my phone would move up an hour and when I went to check the time it would say Eastern Time Zone. Im assuming it thinks im in Richmond VA. Does this everytime. THen when I would go back to my other home in Sugar Land TX it would move back the hour to the correct time.
Anyone has a wierd issue like this with your phone? I would figure only people possibly living in a city that has a name common in other states might have this issue. I was in another town called London while I was riding and my phone would think I was in London UK.
im in sugarland, and my phones time has been acting weird all week, maybe its due to my android install but its too strange that this could be a coincidence..
you have to set the phone to local time and you can do that by going to the alarm clock and selecting the world clock and then put the green dot on "my location" and then the phone will automatically adjust the time based upon where you are.
I'm having the same problem. It seemed to go wrong after I tried to install andriod. I have re flashed the stock ROM but the phone is still acting very strange as far as the time is concerned.... Help?
DST?
im in the UK, and we have juyst put the clocks back by an hour after British Summer Time has ended (DST) on sunday 31st October.
since then my HD2 has attempted to reset the time and keeps randomly changing it, yesterday is was showing as no longer on BST and still showing me an hour ahead, today it has randomly changed from 10:30 am to 1:30pm.
not quite sure what is going on with it, when ever i request carrier time it keeps reverting to 1 hour forward but not on BST.
hopefully it will reslove itself over time. if not looks like will have to turn off some of the location services and stick to manual city location within world clock.

clock in wrong time zone

Is anyone else with an Evo experiencing the wrong time zone on their phone? My friend can set his manually to mountain time, but if he has it on automatic it always goes to eastern time zone. He has all updates, prl, profile, reset phone, etc. It's the latest hardware Evo #0004 and no other problems.
That has happened to me on every Android phone I have had and also to my wife and a couple of friends. It will say we're in Africa. A manual zone change fixes it.
had it happen once so far. switched it to manual. couple days later automatic worked fine
Yeah, manual works fine, but that's not the way it's supposed to work. He wants to leave it on automatic for traveling. Sprint told us last night that google, HTC and sprint are all working on an update and that was what was causing the problem for some people and that they had a lot of complaints about it. Said it should be fixed today.
Well mine started with the change in day light savings. I'm located in the Eastern Time Zone and it keeps changing me to Central. Right now I have it set manually to Eastern. Any further updates on if this was fixed and how?

Sprint SW Ver 4.67.651.3 Screwed Up Auto Location

I just updated to Sprint SW Ver 4.67.651.3 and now my "automatic location" is China (+8 GMT) instead of San Jose CA (-8GMT). I've tried rebooting, removing battery, etc. with no luck. Sure I can manually set a location but that blows for travelling as I'll have to manually change back and forth.
Google maps GPS shows me in the right location, it's just the network defined location (sprint) that puts me in Zhengzhou China.
Friggin annoying, anyone else with this problem?
Update - On "chat" with sprint, so far no progress but now my location is changing between Zhengzhou china and "belleville" (ontario or idaho?)... neither are right, both are at opposite ends of the globe...
Update #2 - Called 1888 tech support number and was instructed to clear cache for "HTC location" application and reboot, which did not resolve the issue. Was told the next step was to do a factory reset, however I am not in a position to do that just yet (no time to back up and reload everything...)
For now I am stuck using manual location setting or turning off wifi/network location setting and getting no weather data.
Man that just sucks, sorry to hear it. HTC is not known for the smooth bug-free OTA releases. You'd think they would test their stuff better before they release it. Shoot, most all the devs here have alpha testers before they ever offer a beta.

Anyone else having this issue? Finally thinking about updating my phone from 3.26.651.6 and this is a deal breaker.
Mine used to randomly say I was in Africa. It has not happened in several months, but it would only last for about a day and then go back to my actual location. Never found the problem, but it went away.

Does anyone else's S7 edge do this?

The 4G LTE icon keeps flashing on and off when on wifi. This starts occurring after an indeterminate period of time and will not stop until I restart the phone. Once restarted, it stops for a while and then starts again. Kinda annoying. Video below. I am pressing down on the screen with my finger only to keep the screen from going off and for no other reason.
Mine and my girlfriend's both do this. Annoying and I don't know why.

Seems like they have some serious WiFi issues to sort out on this phone. Seems to be affecting people's ability to connect to bluetooth as well. Hope ATT greenlights the patch quickly when it becomes available.
Try taking off the smart switch for wifi/mobile data

Mine does this when it's looking for a GPS signal, it's a part of location tracking, when it looks for a location, it uses GPS, Network info , Wifi info, etc. perhaps thats why, turn off Location services and see if it stops just to test it out.
I chatted with a Samsung rep and he told me to wipe the cache partition in recovery. I did that and the problem has not reappeared in a few days. I also had an update pushed just now, so maybe that will further fix the issue.

Wifi issues?

Sorry if this has been discussed before. I just can't find it anywhere.
Is anybody having any Wi-Fi issues with their S8? What is happening for me, is that, I connect to my home private Wi-Fi network. Then 10 seconds later the network completely disconnects. Then approximately 10-20 seconds later it reconnects again. It keeps doing it over and over and over, non stop in a cycle. So I completely disconnected from my Wi-Fi, and I'm using my 4G LTE. I started noticing this at home, but then as I go to other to other Wi-Fi networks it's he same issue.
I even did a factory reset to the phone because of this issue and a home button vibration issue, where the vibration would not stop even in standby mode. It was also causing the Android OS settings to even be disabled, and not let me go into the OS serttings from the Android OS taskbar menu button, or the button for the settings in the app drawer. The factory reset did fix the vibration issue, but it didn't fix the Wi-Fi issue at all.
Also, is anybody else having this exact specific Wi-Fi issue I'm having?
Thanks in advance for all the answers and feedback!

You need too update your phone through the Samsung Apps app. Samsung released a fix for the wifi issue.

I already am up to date with all the apps in the Play Store and the Samsung store. I even contacted Samsung, and the woman on the phone on her own just completely connected me to a manager without saying a word to me. The manager ended up saying that he never heard of this and made a bug report so they could look into it. It's also not in their system, according to this manager. This was today around 5PM EST
It could be a hardware issue. Have you thought about exchanging it?

I already did. This is the second device to have the Wi-Fi issue. I just received my replacement device in the mail today around 4PM EST, which is the device I'm talking about here.
The thing I'm thinking is, that maybe if I went back to the direct cell phone providers store and did a buyer's remorse exchange. It could just be a batch of phones that have the same issue. Which more than one from the batch could be located at the same store. But since I'm in Florida, and the replacement device came from somewhere in Pennsylvania it's a completely different batch. Which the Samsung manager agreed with me. He even told me what I already know, that even if Samsung tests the phone. People in the real world using the phone, may encounter issues that Samsung never found on their own. He also went on to say that it's vital, that people in general, especially people that are tech savvy and semi tech savvy call in, because with us calling in it can help fix the issues that Samsung may have never encountered on our own. The manager also said, that there can be more people with the same exact issue, they just never called in and reported it like I have.

What kind of router are you using? Have to tried another? Go to a Starbucks, or some other free WiFi spot and test. So far with you it's been a 100% issue. I'd start looking at different things.

Like I said in one of the above post, that I noticed it at home first. But as I used other Wi-Fi's I noticed it was an ongoing issue. I've tired my home private Network, my work private network, and at a few friends houses.
The manager from Samsung, honestly believes that it is a Android OS bug.
Ah ok. I missed that. Easy to do when on the go. [emoji3]

It's not a big deal, I completely understand. So what else do you think I should try?
I also have issues with Wi-Fi similar to yours, if anyone has a solution, please let me know
Have you made sure that in settings you have a tick on "Keep wifi on durring sleep" ? Also for the sake of it, switch off "battery optimization" for all apps and see how it behaves. Also make sure you swithch​ off the option "smart network switch" under WiFi settings. What your phone is probably doing is constantly trying to switch between the WiFi and mobile data, or the power management puts it in sleep to preserve battery.
Well instead of getting the same same old suggestions (which Im sure you tried, all of them) you can read thru them all here in the thread that already exists:

Honestly what's probably going to happen is, we're going to have to wait for an OTA update.

Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep is activated. But it has nothing to do with that because my phone goes to standby mode in 30 seconds. While as soon as I connect to the Wi-Fi network, 10 seconds later it completely disconnects me. Then 10-20 seconds later it reconnects me. Then it repeats the same thing over and over. The phone can be completely in use, or it can be in standby mode, the same problem still occurs. Also the same thing goes for battery optimization, while it's on and off.
It also appears that someone else on the first page is having similar Wi-Fi issues. So maybe, a few of the many mass produced phones are having Wi-Fi issues. So maybe it's really an OS bug like the manager from Samsung on the phone yesterday was telling me.
Hi All, even am having a same problem, am here in Saudi Arabia and when i spoke to samsung Persons they are not showing an exact root of the problem and not even willing to exchange my mobile. this issue is with my mobile since 3 months and am waiting for upadte , i got 2 updates till now but none solved my wifi problem, i donno what to do
I can say this only happens to me when I have Bluetooth on and my watch connected and when I'm on a 2.4 signal vs a 5....and if by chance is your phone with sprint or verizon?
